In 2001, the Indian Wellness brand VLCC, founded by Mrs Vandana Luthra took the first step towards creating awareness about Obesity and its ill-effects through the creation of an anti-obesityinitiative to address the global pandemic

With the active involvement of the medical fraternity and other key stakeholders in all the countries where it has a presence, VLCC started observing November 26 as Anti-Obesity Day, as part of an annual campaign conducted in the months of November and December to promote the development of good lifestyle habits to stay healthy and fit.
